Brussels Sprouts and Kielbasas Sausage Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 lb smoked kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth (optional, for extra juiciness)

Instructions:

Trim off the ends and remove any yellow outer leaves. Slice them in half.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Let them sear undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.

Toss the garlic and red pepper flakes into the sprouts and sauté for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Return the kielbasa to the skillet. Add the vinegar and broth (if using) and stir to coat everything. Cover and let cook for another 3-4 minutes until Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.
